1 question, If Sony only got $25 per copy then the retailers is profiting $35 per copy?

That's pretty big profit from the retailers IMO.

No, there's also distributors, taxes and manufacturing of discs/boxes/manuals eating money.

Do they get about $25 as Sony, and about $20 as a third party, (Sony knick $5)? Are those roughly the right figures?

Maybe shams as a developer knows better, I don't think these numbers have been published.

I'm getting my numbers from two sources.

1. When I worked in retail at a bigger corporation (Circuit City)

2. Speaking to a owner of a local video game shop

It seems that the prices publishers sell games to differs from retailer to retailer.
